From the recording Trio

Lyrics

No surprise, when in walked danger
Looking gnomic, a monochromic stranger
A quick glance, revealed a thousand words
Lucid poem, a pseudonym of mockingbirds
Barren skies loom in the distance
A desert accord that doesn't swing
A spirit of hope abandoned
A hardened heart calls for a wellspring

Wishing not, removes straw desire
Bantam longing, a mad belonging crier
Taming the wild, smooths the expectation
Icy gesture, countermeasures anticipation
Barren skies loom in the distance
A desert accord that doesn't swing
A spirit of hope abandoned
A hardened heart calls for a wellspring

Discover reason, a disciplined king
Tiny castles, where young rascals sing
Expect nothing, embrace your favored boon
Living inwards, unspoken words presume
Barren skies loom in the distance
A desert accord that doesn't swing
A spirit of hope abandoned
A hardened heart calls for a wellspring
